(Re)theorizing Cities from the Global South: Looking Beyond Neoliberalism
The session will explore what we can learn from urban developments in the Global South and aims to bring together researchers of the Global South in particular, and urban studies in general, to discuss Sue Parnell's work and create scholarly debate on the issues of inequality, neoliberalism and urban theory.
